In the quiet afternoon, the sun shone unblocked, making the entire Kaifeng Prefecture in incandescent. In the hot weather, even the prosperous place of Kaifeng Prefecture seemed a little listless. When the weather was the hottest at noon, even the pedestrians on the street became scarce. On Maxing Street outside Donghuamen, the tall and majestic Fengle Tower stood there. Looking over, the flying eaves and brackets of Fengle Tower floated because of the heat.

Wu Haogu had already left Donghua Gate, wearing official uniforms soaked in sweat, rode on the back of a docile mare, and moved forward slowly without his mind.

The interview at Chongzheng Hall has ended. Although Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun asked Wu Haogu many questions and praised him from time to time, they still didn't see the "heavy rewards". Wu Haogu is still a ninth-rank right-class palace. Although it is a matter of time to get promoted, Wu Haogu is still a little disappointed.

However, the reward has a good side if it is not finalized immediately. Even if Wu Haogu can work harder and he may be able to achieve a better result.

He is now a military officer of the ninth rank, and he is not very good in the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty. This time he made such a great contribution, how could he have to move to an ambassador?

In addition, it is not like an ambassador who is a minister in the Hanlin Picture Academy. After all, the minister is just an official sent by an official, and it is just a minor envoy. The ambassador can release county magistrates and become a middle-level official of the general, so Wu Haogu also wants to find a good appointment for himself.

He doesn't like ordinary dispatches, even if he gives a county magistrate, he doesn't want to be a county magistrate, how much can he be greedy for? And he doesn't know where to send him to, so how much delays he has to do?

As for military positions, he can't do it. He has just started to learn how to draw a bow and a sword, so how can he lead the troops?

Moreover, Wu Haogu has long had a favorite position, which is the supervisor of Lighthouse City or Lighthouse Maritime Bureau.

Although Wu Haogu proposed the suggestion of establishing an autonomous commercial city in the "Pingyan Nine Schemes", he also knew that the officials of the Song Dynasty and various Qingtian were not very scrupulous, and at least they would not allow open autonomy, so he would definitely set up a yamen such as the Lighthouse Municipal Bureau.

Wu Haogu must take the real power of this tutoring department into his hands to ensure that the Lighthouse City develops into a "ghost of capitalism" in the future.

However, it is not easy to win the Seju Department, because the planned Lighthouse City is a maritime trading market, similar to a market or a market under the Maritime Department. The government responsible for management is very likely to refer to the Maritime Department.

According to the current court practice, the position of the Maritime Warehouse Office was led by the Caoshi minister, that is, the Transport Authority. Dengta City belongs to Cangzhou on Hebei East Road, and according to the practice, the Transport Authority of Hebei East Road should be held by the Transport Authority on Hebei East Road. Therefore, Wu Haogu cannot be involved in this position.

However, there are many things to do in the transfer of Hebei East Road, and it is impossible to concentrate on managing the Lighthouse Maritime Bureau. Therefore, the one who is in power must be the Supervisor and the Officer of the Maritime Bureau. Wu Haogu must hold these positions in his hands. As long as he controls these positions, the real power of the Lighthouse Maritime Bureau will be in the hands of Wu Haogu.

With the real power of the Lighthouse City Maritime Bureau, Wu Haogu can further bring Lighthouse City to the Free City. The specific method is the Chamber of Commerce’s autonomy, delegating the city’s construction and management rights to a chamber of commerce initiated by himself. The Chamber of Commerce will elect the mayor, police chief and referee chief. The construction costs of the Chamber of Commerce are also responsible for raising the investment. Naturally, the Chamber of Commerce will also be the Chamber of Commerce.

The work of the Lighthouse Office was to guard the entrance of Lighthouse City to the Song Dynasty, collect official taxes, and study and discuss matters such as city taxes, buying and buying with Lighthouse City Chamber of Commerce.

In other words, Lighthouse City will be a "tax-enabled autonomous municipality". The court only carries money and does not participate in the daily management of the market.

This "tax-inclusive autonomy" model was actually very common in the Song Dynasty. The people of the Song Dynasty called it "pubu" or "bubu". According to the regulations of the Song Dynasty, all wild cities, towns, and virtual cities with annual tax revenue of less than 1,000 yuan were implemented, and the big merchants paid for the contract, and the government did not require staff to supervise it. The winery with annual income of less than 1,000 yuan was also contracted to merchants.

This "tax-inclusive system" is of course incorrect in politics, but it does receive money and saves the costs of tax collection and management.

But Lighthouse City is not an ordinary small market, but a large commercial city. It is probably a bit out of the ordinary to include such a city to the chamber of commerce... Fortunately, the development of Lighthouse City also has a process, and at the beginning it was just a medium-sized town.

As for the development of Lighthouse City in the future, it should be the era of Huizong Zhao Ji...

Wu Haogu, who was thinking about his worries, had already left Liangmen in the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture. Walking on the street of Liangmen, he suddenly heard someone shouting "Teacher" or "Teacher". The voice was quite familiar, as if it was his good apprentice Mi Youren.

He quickly turned his head and looked in the sound. He saw Mi Youren wearing a moon-white Confucian uniform with a rose flower in his ears, riding a donkey, and a young scholar carrying a book book next to him. Look at this, he must have just finished class from the Imperial College.

"It's Yuanhui." Wu Haogu gently pulled the reins and stopped the horse under his crotch. "I'm looking for you when I have something to do. How about going to my house for a few drinks tonight?"

As soon as Wu Haogu got home, he asked Zhang Zeduan to inform Mi Youren, Su Dalang, Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Gao Qiu, and invited them to have dinner at their homes in the evening, and discussed something with them.

"Students are coming for this matter," Mi Youren smiled, "The students have met Junior Brother Zhang.

Teacher, look at you wearing official uniforms, but have you just entered the palace and faced you?"

"Yes," Wu Haogu smiled and walked with Mi Youren. "I have met the official family, Zhang Xianggong and Cai Shi."

After meeting at Chongzheng Hall, Wu Haogu also went to the Privy Council to meet Cai Jing, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and explained the task of envoy Liao. It was just a routine matter and did not go into the depth.

Mi Youren asked with a smile: "The teacher must have made great contributions again during this trip, right?"

"There are credits," Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, "but there are not many troubles."

If human lives are all done, can this trouble be small?

But now it is not the time to talk about this. Wu Haogu has always been public first and then private. What we need to consider now is how to get the real power of higher-level officials and the Lighthouse Maritime Bureau.

Mi Youren asked: "Teacher, what's the trouble?"

Wu Haogu shook his head: "This is not a place to talk, let's go back to my house first."

...

When Wu Haogu and Mi Youren returned to the Wu family's residence together, Su Dalang, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji had already arrived, and they were all drinking tea and chatting with Wu Chengzhi and Murong Wangyou in the guest hall. However, Guo Yaoshi and Zhong Ge'er were not in the Wu family's residence, and Zhang Zeduan accompanied him to visit Kaifeng Mansion.

"Mr. Murong, the official and Mr. Zhang have read the memorial you handed over."

After a greeting and introduction, Wu Haogu told Old Man Murong about meeting the saint in Chongzheng Hall today.

"How?" Old Man Murong asked calmly.

Wu Haogu glanced at him. The old man changed into a Taoist robe and cleaned himself up. He looked a bit profound.

"Here he is very happy," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I'll ask Mr. Zhang to meet you and Brother Guo... Mr. Xiangshan, why don't we go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay a visit tomorrow?"

"Greetings?" Old Man Murong smiled, stroked his beard and said, "You ask me to pay homage to Zhang Zihou?"

"Yes." Wu Haogu nodded.

"Don't go, don't go."

Don’t go? Wu Haogu was stunned. Why can you follow Kaifeng Prefecture if you don’t go?

Old Man Murong pointed to the other two fake Taoist priests sitting upright in the guest hall, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, "I will move to Huaxian Temple tomorrow. If Zhang Zihou wants to see me, I will ask him to Huaxian Temple."

As soon as he said this, Wu Haogu and Wu Chengzhi and his father and son laughed, and the old man actually took off his airs.

But now it is not a chaotic world where heroes rise together. Will Zhang Dun, who has been at the top for many years, take his trick?

Seeing Wu Haogu with a dilemma, Murong Wangyou shook his head and said, "Dalang, just tell me what I mean to Zhang Zihou. If he doesn't come, I will go back to Yanyun in a few days."

True? False?

Wu Haogu was a little confused. Old Man Murong really thought he was Zhuge Liang? Even if he was more powerful than Zhuge Liang, so what? He was not a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty. Who would be a real hero?

Old man Murong stroked his beard and smiled: "Whether the business strategy can be achieved depends on whether Zhang Zihou is willing to surrender to the nobles to paint the immortal view.

If he doesn't leave this journey, you don't have to think too much about it. This matter will definitely not be done. If he really wants to use this strategy, don't talk about it, what's wrong with just a three-way ceremony?"

"Mr. Murong is right," Mi Youren's official experience is much more abundant than martial arts. He immediately understood the intention of Old Murong. "If the official family and Mr. Zhang really need Mr. Murong, it is better to be arrogant. Without a doctor, how can the old man come out?"

At this time, there were no military officers in the official system of the Song Dynasty who had the title of "Dafu". Only the civil servants (rank officials) were Guanglu Dafu, Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, Silver Green Guanglu Dafu, Zhengfeng Dafu, Tongfeng Dafu, Taizhong Dafu, Zhongdafu, Zhongsan Dafu, Chaofeng Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, Chaowen Dafu, the youngest Chaosan Dafu was also a civil servant who was under the fifth rank.

In the Song Dynasty, civil servants from the fifth rank were not small, and the qualifications to enter the Political Affairs Hall were barely enough.

"What a doctor?" Murong old man touched his beard, "I was a great Jinshi in the Northern Dynasties!"

The Jinshi in the Liao Kingdom was not "great" at all, but it was just a tool for the Khitans to coax the Han tribes to play.
